Hi Friends,
This is Mohamed Umari from C. Abdul Hakeem college of Engineering & Technology,
Melvisharam Vellore. Recently I attended CTS interview. I want to share my
experience.
I attended my Aptitude Test at St. Michael's Hr.Sec.School, Chennai on 03/10/10.

The test was written only. The pattern for the test is 30 questions on analytical & 25
questions on Verbal. Total duration is 50 minutes. Before starting the test, they will
provide a form to be filled and give 10 minutes for that. Carefully fill that particular
form.
1. Analytical & Logical: Syllogism-5 questions, Statement and conclusion-5

questions, data interpretation-5 questions, coding-5 question, Figure series-5
questions, odd images-5 questions.
1. Verbal: Two comprehension 10 questions, Detecting correct sentences-5

questions, Detecting incorrect sentences-5 questions, jumbled sentences-5
questions.
Please refer Freshersworld.com previous question papers for the pattern. Thanks for
Freshersworld.com that I also referred papers from this website only. You don't get
exact questions but you will get the pattern & idea. They told the result through e-
mail, the next day(04/10/2010). Around 8.00 p.m I got a mail from CTS that I
cleared the test and called for Technical interview.
My technical interview was held on 06/10/10 at St. Joseph Engineering College, Old
Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai. For Technical interviews there will be panels and you
will be given a panel no. They was asked my area of interest and asked questions on
that. Also they asked questions from project, some questions on C, C++, SQL
queries and simple questions on other subjects and they told to wait outside for the
result. If they candidate cleared that round, they are sending for HR round otherwise
they reject. My HR round was easy only. As usual the questions were Introduce
yourself, short-term & Long-term plan, achievements in life etc.
After HR round, they told that the result for selected candidates will be announced
thro mail after 2 or 3 days. By the grace of Almighty Allah 0n 9/10/10 around 1
p.m., I got a mail from CTS that I was selected.
This was my interview experience. Hope this will be useful for You!
Have a good day!

Bye!

Hello every1,
Myself Sanjay kumar choudhary B-tech in CSE from IMPS college of engineering &
technology(Malda). I am glad that now i am part of Cognizant family and I am
feeling very happy to share my experience with you all.
It was an off campus drive for freshers 2009/2010 batch.
Written Venue: Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan Block-FA, Salt Lake Sector-III, Kolkata.
Date: 03/10/2010
The Merit Track conducted the test. Before the test you have to fill a form. Do it
carefully as questions may be arised from here in your technical interview.
1. Software Orientation:
2. Hobbies and extra-curricular activities
3. Strengths and Weakness
4. Expectation from CTS
5. Why CTS
6. Long term and short-term goal with CTS
My suggestion would be go through R.S Aggarwal verbal & non verbal. That itself is
enough to crack the written.
Time matters a lot here so be very quick while answering the questions, don't waste
time over a single question.
It's better to skip it and move to the other questions and when you get time you can
come back to it.
My Interview:
The (technical+Hr) was held on 21/10/2010 around 3:30pm at Cognizant, Kolkata. I

was really exhausted at that time waiting from morning. 6 panels (approximatly
45mins each). I went inside the hall, Hr was talking wid some one on phone.
Me: Good Afternoon Sir

HR: Sit down

Me: (Smiling)no prob,I can work in any shift
HR: Ok Sanjay, it was nice interacting with you(shook hand)

Me: Thank you sir and have a nice day!
My interviewer was very very serious and perfect in his work. He just smiled at the
end of the interview. My interview went for 45minutes as i was from CSE i had
mostly technical questions.
All that you have to do is be yourself. Don't fear and be frank. They are very smart
people. So never lie answer confidently. You will get through it. Be thorough with
everything you put in your resume and your project (project questions were asked in
all the panels) at 5.30 they announced the result and my name was in the list.
Thanks to freshersworld.com and ever1 for their good wishes. Hope my suggestion
would be a help for you all.
All the best, See you at CTS!

The CTS interview had three rounds:

1. Written Test
2. Technical Round
3. H R Round
The written test was scheduled at RNSIT, Bangalore on Oct 03, 2010. My slot was at
4pm but as there were free slots, my test was conducted by 3.30pm itself. I had
gone through all previous papers of CTS test. It was really helpful.
The test was conducted by Merittrac. Then I got mail that I’ve cleared written test.
My technical round was on
17th Oct, it went well. The CTS interviewers are very cool and helping. They tried
students to comfort by first asking where abouts of students and threw technical
questions.
The same day HR round was conducted.
I Went thru all previous papers, candidate experiences which helped me to prepare
mentally, and get used to the paper pattern. But when I wrote the test, the pattern
was changed! There were no questions on Quantitative Aptitude!! Only verbal & non
verbal reasoning questions were there, which included 2 lengthy passages! (1 full
page length passage).
When you are writing the test, first make sure you answer the questions which are
easy. Then try on difficult one. Don’t leave passages as they usually questions with
carry 10 marks. But you can attempt passages at the end, as reading them takes
time.
A. I did not get tensed at any point of the interview. Calmness of mind is very
important during the interview. More than that, alertness of mind matters a lot, as
we tend to make silly mistakes just because of lack of alertness.
When you are attempting written test, make sure you score maximum marks. Give
attention to written communication skills, as they’d given us a form to fill, in which
there are columns like why cognizant, key skills to work in software domain etc.
* Preparedness is very important. Don’t give up till last minute.
* Do work on your communication skills if you are little weak in it.
* Prepare well for technical round. Go through Programming Languages.
* Make sure you prepare to answer questions that are based on the content you put
in your resume.
* Be confident. Confidence matters a lot in interview.
* Last but not the least, “Believe in your strengths”.
All the best.

The experiences of candidates put in freshersworld, who attended CTS interview
helped me a lot. Thanks for them.
The placement papers in freshersworld were of immense help. Infact, it is the main
preparation material that I've used.
Thank you,
Pavithra Gokhale.

Posted By : Bedanta Banerjee
Hi, I am Bedanta Banerjee, pass out of Netaji Subhash Engineering College of 2010
AEIE branch. I am here to share my experience in Cognizant interview procedure.
At first, I would like to tell you that I will not be discussing here about the aptitude
test in detail. Because it is simple and you will get enough material about this test in
fresherworld.com I have sat for the aptitude on 3rd October, 2010. It was simple ,
here you have to attempt 30 logical reasoning questions in 30 minutes and 25
english questions within 20 minutes.
In English section around 12 questions from passage and the passage questions hold
key to clear the test. Go for 2 passge within 15 minutes and mark the rest on one
option (say, option 3) as test does not contain negetive marking. So out of 12 you
will get 10-11 as questions are direct and from the rest another 3-4 and this was the
cut off for english is around 12.
Another thing you should keep in your mind, this aptitude paper will contain some
questions like what is your short term goal and long term goal, what is your strong
and weak point etc and when you will be at interview table your interviewer will find
this paper with him/her. So answer these questions very carefully in my case I have
found that I have got 22 in logical portion and 15 in english portion, Totalling 37 as
my interviewer have put that paper in front of him. I was intimated my mail that i
had cleared the aptitude and called for interview on 3rd November, 2010 at
cognizant's bantala office.
My appointment time was 9.30 in the morning. When we all was waiting for 2nd half
hour, my name was called for technical interview.
I: Good morning, sir

Int: Is it morning or afternoon. It's already 5 past 12.
I(Nervously): Ok then Good afternoon. My first impression was wrong and rightly
feared that they gonna take my stress interview and I make myself ready to accept
it.
Int: Take a seat and tell me whats special in you and how will you use them in CTS?
I: Told that i have good analytical skill required for programming, Good interpersonal
skill required for dealing with my team members etc etc.
Int: (Stoping me in middle and browsing thorough my aptitude paper) So yo have

good interpersonal skills and deal with people well now if you find your colleague is
harassing you and making your life miserable at your workspace and your team
leader asks you to do some work with him. What will be your reaction?
I: I will talk to him saying both of us are the employee of CTS. If you have some
personal problem with me then yo must keep them outside of our organization the
company which is feeding you, both of us is neglecting it and can not serve it. So
keep for problem outside the organization and lets work together for doing the
project work given by our team leader. bla bla bla
Int(finally satisfied): Okay, now you know C and Data structure.
He was satisfied and the whole scenario has been changed then he become very
friendly.
I: Little bit sir.
Int: How you rate yourself in C?

I: Out of 10 around 5 sir.
Int: Ok then i will ask you 5 questions. What is pointer and what is the notation of
it.?
I: Answered

swapping without using 3rd variable.
I : written.
Int: What is linked list? Doubly linked list? Explain.

I: Explained.
Int: You know Microprocessor? What is the different between 8085 and 8086?

Me: Explained.
Int: Consider myself as a layman who have no idea about microprocessor. Explain
me about how microprocessor works.
I: Explain
Int: Thank you bedanta wait outside they will call you for HR interview.
Me: Thanks.
My technical interview was over and my interviewer have already told me that I had
been selected for HR interview then after a long wait for 2 hours finally my turn
came I entered the room where managerial round had been taken. HR manager was
a lady and she was very friendly.
Int: Asked about my family. My place of residence.

I: Answered.
Int (browseing through my biodata): Your percentage in Btech 3rd year dropped
why?
As getting above 85 % in +10 and +12, I have got only 7.25 in my 3rd year of
B.TECH where as overall 8.3.
I: My college was far from my residence got very little time in home to prepare for
semester bla bla
Int: Why are you want to join Cognizant?

I: The brand name 12th largest IT industry in the world fortune 100 fastest growing
industry bla bla
Int: Why should we hire you?

I: I have analytical skills, good interpersonal skills, deal people very well bla bla
Int: Ok Bedanta, you have been selected for this employment opportunity welcome
to Cognizant. You will get your confirmation letter within 7-8 days keep in touch with
your mail. Your joining will be within 25 days.
I: Thanks maam. Shaked hand with her

Int: Your CTC will be 3.09 per annum. You are off for this day. While leaving you can

* Syllogisms (1st only one conclusion is given and to statements are given
choose the statement).
* Completing the figures, next figure in the series.
* Some puzzles.
* Data sufficiency questions.
* Coding and decoding.
* Finding conclusion for a statement.
Part 2(Verbal) 25 questions:
* Two passages and 10 to 12 questions from it.

* Finding the correct and incorrect sentences.
* Finding the incorrect part in a sentence.
Time management is very crucial. In verbal 1st passage is easy, try it 1st and then
go to 2nd. Figures in analytical are very very easy. First do analytical and then
verbal.
Luckily I cleared the written test, and 3rd of November, I have attended for interview
at Auriga auditorium, Hyderabad. Coming to the interview process there are two
rounds.
1. Technical round
2. HR Round

Test Paper :11

Test Date : 18 September 2010
Test Location : Anand Institute Of Technology,Chennai
Posted By : Rajat Mahadevan
Hi Everyone,
Mine was a morning 7:45 batch. Around 150 were there in my batch. There were
more batches on the same day so i'm not sure about the total number of students
who all attended that day. The paper was conducted by MERITRACK and they said
they would announce the result on this Tuesday that is on 21st September on CTS
website.
When i started giving test i was really amazed, the pattern had completely changed.
There were only 50 questions in all and two sections Verbal and Analytical. The paper
was damn easy. This was my 12th interview so was bit nervous asusual. I can give
you an idea on how the paper was but i'm sorry I can’t remember any questions.
1.) Verbal Section
There were questions like
A) Two huge passages were given and there were 5 questions for each passage. I
would recommend you to attempt these passages at the end.
B) Around 5-6 questions on finding which part of the sentence had an error.EX-
He thought (a)/he might (b)/not be able (c)/to do a job (d)
We had to find which part of the sentence had errors.
C) Around 5-6 questions on arranging sentences in the order in which they might
have occurred.EX-
a) The third calls for high aces to channel updrafts.
b) Some paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from s
dropped from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in
order to become airborne.
c) The second hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have
landed in trees without damaging their wings.
d) Each theory has its associated difficulties.
e) The first makes a wrong assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a
bat's and could serve as hooks by which the animal could hang in preparation for
flight.
OPTIONS
1) a,e,d,b,c
2)b,d,e,c,a
3)d,a,e,c,b
4)a,b,e,d,c
D) Around 5-6 questions on finding the wrong sentence from a set of given
sentences.
2) Analytical Part
This part to my amazement didn't have anything from R.S Aggarwal quantitative
aptitude. There we not even a single formal question from percentages or ratio
proportions or ages anything u could ever imagine the whole paper was kind of non
verbal reasoning. The questions were like
a) Around 4-5 questions were like finding the odd figure out of given figures. Very
Very Simple.
b) Around 4-5 questions were like three figures were given and we had to find the
fourth one based on some pattern.(Was a bit tough)
c) I had some login problem in my system before beginning the test, so i was sitting
idle for 15 mins in the beginning and at that time, i was just gazing at the systems of
students who were giving the test. Many of them had a question based on pie chart.
A pie chart was given and 5-6 questions were based the pie chart.
On the other hand when i started giving test i had a question based on a table. I had
to take some percentages based on the given data. I didn’t get any questions from
pie charts.
d) Some 5-6 questions based on syllogism. Eg: Some dogs are cats. All cats are
cows.
e) Around 5-6 question were based on logic like if it rains, then he will dance.(These
questions were in the form of data sufficiency.
This is all i can remember. Make sure you prepare from R.S Aggarwal Verbal and Non
Verbal reasoning very thoroughly. Be very calm and take the paper very carefully
because it full of logical questions, you need to have a free mind while giving the
test. I'm still waiting for the results that are to be announced on 21st September on
www.congnizant.com and i'm really very very scared. Please do pray for me.
Most important All the best may God be with you all..
Hope this article helps.
Take care all.

test on 3rd of October in St.Patricks High school, Hyderabad. We have a paper based
test and it contains total 55 questions and the time is 50 min. No negative marking.
It contains
Part 1(Analytical) 30 questions:
* A table with data is given and questions will be asked on that (Bit difficult)
* Syllogisms (1st only one conclusion is given and to statements are given
choose the statement).
* Completing the figures, next figure in the series.
* Some puzzles.

* Finding conclusion for a statement.
Part 2(Verbal) 25 questions:
* Two passages and 10 to 12 questions from it.

* Finding the correct and incorrect sentences.
* Finding the incorrect part in a sentence.
Time management is very crucial. As I am not good in verbal first I went for
paragraphs and I got 2 normal passages .they were easy and I got 8 ans out of 10
questions and in sentence correction, incorrect sentences I put the answers as I am
aware.
Luckily I cleared the written test, and 22nd of October I have attended for interview

rounds.
1. Technical round
2. HR Round
My interview was scheduled at 2 pm around 250 guys came for the interview. There
are around 15 panels for Technical round. I went for my technical at 4 PM.
Technical Round:
The interviewer was very cool. First he asked tell me about you are self, then my
academic project I have explained him around 15 min, he was impressed for my
project and he didn’t ask me any question from technical and he directly forward me
for the HR round. But for my other friends Technical round guys are asking questions
on C, C++ and DBMS. Basics of C and C++ and normalization of dbms.
My advice is first be prepared with you are project and if you are computer students
be prepared with normalization concepts in DBMS and key constraints of DBMS
because they concentrating on DBMS mostly, For C and C++ just refer the basic
concepts and some sample programs, and the OOPS concepts in C++ with examples.
HR Round:
This is just a formal round, here they will ask you the questions like
1) Tell me about you are self?

2) Your strengths, goals, hobbies?
3) Why CTS?
4) Are you ready to relocate?
5) Does you appeared for any interview? If yes what happened to that one?
Here they mainly check your communication skills and you are confidence levels.
After that they told me that they will give the results in one week. Am eagerly
waiting for the results.
Important Tip:
My advice is be confident, if you don’t know the answers tell to them straightly, be
strong with basics.
All the best guys.

est Paper :9
Paper Type : Aptitude - English
Test Location : Bangalore
Posted By : Soumik
Below are the few important grammatical rules which may be required to review to
solve English aptitude paper in any MNCs
1. Possessive case
Possessive case is generally used with living things e.g. the governor’s bodyguard.
But is also used with personified objects:
e.g. India’s heroes, nature’s law etc.
2. Comparison of adjectives:
1) Adjectives ending in –or are followed by the preposition to(not than); as,
Inferior, superior, prior, anterior, posterior, senior, junior.
e.g.
Hari is inferior to rama in intelligence

He is junior to all of his colleagues.
2) In comparing two things or classes of things the comparative should be used; as,
Of Mumbai and Madras the former is wealthier.
Of two evils, choose the less (not least).
Note: later and latest refer to time, latter and last refer to position. Elder and eldest
are used only of person, not of animals or thing. Older and oldest are used of both
persons and things.
3. Personal pronouns
There is a general construction

e.g.
You and I have done our duty.
You and hari have idled away your time.
He and I can never pull on together.
i.e the construction is- “you and I” not “I and you” ,”you and he” not “he and you” ,”
he and I” not “I and he”
mind it.
4. Mood
Subjunctive mood:
a. past subjunctive is used
1) After the verb wish to indicate a situation which is unreal or contrary to fact: as,
I wish I knew his name. (= I’m sorry I don’t know his name.)
She wishes the car belonged to you.
2) After if, to express improbability or unreality in the present: as;
If I were you I should not do that (but I am not you, and never can be)
If we started now we would be in time (but we can’t start now)
3) After as if/though, to indicate unreality or improbability: as,
He orders me as if I were his wife (but I am not).

He walks as though he were drunk (but he is not).
5. Tense
This is a very vital part in grammar & also for apti.
6. Agreement of the verb with the subject
1) If the singular subjects are preceded by each and every the verb usually
singular:as’
Every boy and girl was ready.

Every man, woman and child was lost.
2) Two or more singular subjects connected by or, nor, either….or, neither...Nor take
a verb in the singular: as,
Either abdul or amir has stolen the watch.

Neither rama nor his sister was there.
3) When subjects joined by or,nor are of different numbers, the verb must be plural,
and the plural subject must be placed next the verb ;as,
Rama and his brothers have done this.
4) When the subjects joined by or or nor are of different persons,the verb agrees
with the nearer ; as,
Either he or I am mistaken.
Neither you nor he is mistaken.
5) Either, neither, each, everyone, many a, must be followed by a singular verb; as,
Each of the substances is found in India.

Many a man has done so.
6) Words joined to a singular subject by ‘with’, ‘together with’, ‘in addition to’, or ‘as
well as’, etc.,are parenthetical, and therefore do not affect the number of the verb ;
as,
The chief, with all his men, was massacred.

Rama, as well as hari and govind, likes hot curry.
7. The participle
Hearing the noise, the boy woke up. The word hearing qualifies the noun boy as an
adjective does.
It is formed from the verb hear, and governs an object. Participle is called a verbal
adjective.
a. Present participle
We met a girl carrying a basket of flowers.
b. Past participle
Driven by hunger, he stole a piece of bread.
c. Perfect participle
Having rested, we continued our journey.

The wind having failed, the crew set to work with a will.
1) Since the participle is a verb-adjective it must be attached to some noun or
pronoun ; in other words it must always have a proper ‘subject of reference’.
The following sentences are incorrect:
Being a very hot day, I remained at my tent.

Entering the room, the light was quite dazzling.
The correct sentences are:
It being a very hot day, I remained at my tent.

Entering the room, I found the light quite dazzling.
More examples:
Sword being in hand, he rushed on the jailor.

Breakfast having been over, we went out for a walk.
8. The gerund
Gerund is verb-noun
Few examples;
I heard of his having gained a prize.

He is desirous of being praised.
I hope you will excuse my (not me) leaving early.
We rejoiced at his (not him) being promoted.
9. Auxiliaries
This is another important chapter in grammar.
A sentence construction:
You should have been more careful. (Should + perfect infinitive indicates a past
obligation that was not fulfilled).
He should be in the library now. (Expresses probability).
Note: Follow the auxiliaries (will/would, can/could, may/might etc .
10. Position of adverbs
As a general rule, the word only should be placed immediately before the word it
modifies; as,
I worked only 2 sums.
11. Preposition
1) Since is used before a noun or phrase denoting some point of time, and is
preceded by a verb in the perfect tenses ;as,
I have eaten nothing since yesterday.

Ha has been ill since Monday last.
2) From is used with non-perfect tenses; as,
He will join school from tomorrow.

I commenced work from 1st January.
3) For is used with a period of time; as,

4) In before a noun denoting a period of time, means at the end of; within means
before the end of; as,
I shall return in an hour.

I shall return within an hour.
5) Beside means by the side of, while besides means in addition to.
6) The prepositions for, from, in, on are often omitted before nouns of place or time;
as,
We did it last week, I can’t walk a yard, wait a minute.
7) In and at are used in speaking of things at rest; to and into are used in speaking
of things in motion; as,
He is in bed.
He ran to school. ,He jumped into the river.
8) On is used in speaking of things at rest, and upon the things in motion; as,
He sat on a chair. , The cat sprang upon the table.
9) Till is used of time, and to is used of place; as,
I slept till eight o’clock. , He walked to the end of the street.

10) With often denotes the instrument and by the agent; as,
He killed two birds with one shot.

He was stabbed by a lunatic with a dagger.
11) But- as a rule is a conjunction. When used as a preposition but means “except”,
“with the exception of”; as,
What can he do but die.

All is lost but honor.
Note: also take a look at the prepositions that shows some most common relation to
some words; as,
1) Place:
Went about the world, leaned against a wall, tour round the world, put pen to paper,
stand without the gate.

7) Contrast, concession:

admire him.
12. Conjunctions and their uses
1) Since, when used as a conjunction, should be preceded by a verb in the present

perfect tense, and followed by a verb in the past indefinite tense; as,
I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last.
2) That is now used
a. To express reason, cause and is equivalent to because, for that, in that; as,
He was annoyed that he was contradicted.
b. To express purpose and is equivalent to in order that; as,
We sow that we may reap.
C. To express consequences, result, effect; as,

4) No sooner is followed by then, and not by but.
No sooner had he returned than (not but) he was off again.

No sooner did he see us than he dispersed.
13. Noun and pronoun
1) The object of verb or of a preposition, when it is a pronoun, should be in the

objective form; as,
Between you and me (not I) affairs look dark.
Let you and me (not I) do it.
There is really no difference between you and me.

Please let jack and me go to the theatre.
14. Adjectives
1) A very common form of error is exemplified in the following sentence:
The population of London is greater than any town in India. (Incorrect)

The population of London is greater than that of any town in India. (Correct)
Because, the comparison is between the population of London and the population of
any town in India
15. Articles

One begins with the consonant sound of w.
2) Before words beginning with h and not accented on the first syllable, an is used;
as,

3) The red and white rose. (Means one rose)
The red and the white rose. (Means two roses, the one red and the other white)
The first and the second chapter=the first and second chapters.

clause
(Simple present)
(Will/shall/can/may+plain infinitive)
If you study hard you will

get a first class.

condition was not fulfilled.
17. The sequence of tenses:
1) A past tense in the principle clause is followed by a past tense in the subordinate
clause;as,
She replied that she felt better.
I found out that he was guilty.
Note: there are however two exceptions to the above rule:
a) A past tense in the principle clause may be followed by a present tense in the
subordinate clause when the subordinate clause expresses a universal truth ;as,
Newton discovered that the force of gravitation makes apples fall.

He said that honesty is the best policy.
(b) When the subordinate clause is introduced by than, even if there is a past tense in
the principle clause it may be followed by any tense required by the sense in the
subordinate clause ;as,
He liked you better than he likes me.

He helped him more than he helps his own children.
2) A present or future tense in the principle clause may be followed by any tense
required by the sense; as,
He thinks that she is there.

He thinks that she was there.
He thinks that she will be there.

He will think that she is/was/will be there.
18. Few sentence construction:
1) (a) He thought that he was safe there.

(b) He thought himself to be safe there.
2) (a) I believed that he was a true friend.
(b) I believed him to be a true friend.
3) (a) This proved that the man had stolen the horse.
(b) This proved the man t have stolen the horse.
(4) (a) We know that Rama is alive.
(b) We know Rama to be alive.
19. In such sentences as the following, but is equivalent to a relative pronoun

followed by not, and serves to introduce an adjective clause:-
(1) There was not a woman present but wept to hear such news. [That is, who did
not weep to hear such news.](2) There is no fireside but has one vacant chair. [That
has not one vacant chair.]
So, this was a brief review of few important grammatical rules. Follow a good English
grammar book to learn about English grammar more effectively, efficiently.
Best Wishes.

According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious

shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling,
which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time
the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time
continuum is quite a common place statement.
This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by
Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording than the ideas. Einstein's concept
of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear,
when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that
is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most
rulers are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of an
inch.
Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of

an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point to point should not be
even smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is the fWASL that the space between
any two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions.
A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a

train can describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a
station or a milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions.
The surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by
which sailor fixes his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and
longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional
continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and longitude, but also his
height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we
perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.
Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical
event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be
mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago
express, one must mention not only that it goes from New - York to Albany to Syracuse
to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches each of
those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If
the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled
paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line properly
drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two - dimensional space
- time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper
readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two -
dimensional dollar - time continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of
an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is
essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic
manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is
the fourth dimension. If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't
work if it is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and
landing, it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional
space - time continuum curve.
Following are some sample questions on this passage:
6. The significant feature of a continuum, according to the passage, revolves

around
A. The divisibility of the interval between any two points.
B. An ordinary ruler's caliber for marking
C. Its unending curve
D. Its lucid from providing comprehensibility to the non - scientists as
well
E. Its variety of co - ordinates.
Answer: A
7. The purpose of this passage is to highlight the point that

A. Plots and sea captains have something in common
B. Stock market charts may be helpful to physicists
C. The fourth dimension is time.
D. Non - mathematician's are often afraid of the commonplace
E. There is a marked quality to distance
Answer: C
8. According to the passage, an airlines traffic manager depends upon all of the
following EXCEPT
A. latitude
B. altitude
C. the time co - ordinate
D. longitude
E. the continuous curve in co four
Answer: E
9. The underlying tone of this selection is

A. persuasive
B. deferential
C. candid
D. instructive
E. gently condescending
Answer: D
10. According to the author if on wishes portray a physical event in which motion
plays a role - one has to
A. Make use of a time-table

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. The general
recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase,' It is the busiest man who
has time to spare'. Thus, an elderly lady at leisure can spend the entire day writing a
postcard to her niece. An hour will be spent in writing a postcard , another hunting
for spectacles, half an hour to search for the address , an hour and a quarter in
composition and twenty minutes in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella
when goingto the pillar box in the street. The total effort that could occupy a busy
man for three minutes, all told may in this fashion leave another person completely
exhausted after a day of doubt, anxiety and toil.

According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious

shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling,
which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time
the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time
continuum is quite a common place statement.
of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and
clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is
something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space
continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-
sixteenth of an inch.


mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago
express, one must mention not only that it goes from New - York to Albany to
Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches
each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual
chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece
of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line
properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two-
dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar
to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart,
For example, pictures financial events in a two - dimensional dollar - time

continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New
York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is essential. The
latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the
airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth
dimension. If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it
is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing,
it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space -
time continuum curve.
The significant feature of a continuum, according to the passage, revolves around

The divisibility of the interval between any two points.
An ordinary ruler's caliber for marking
It's unending curve
It's lucid from providing comprehensibility to the non - scientists as well
It's variety of co - ordinates.
Answer: A
The purpose of this passage is to highlight the point that

Plots and sea captains have something in common
Stock market charts may be helpful to physicists
The fourth dimension is time.
Non-mathematician's are often afraid of the commonplace
There is a marked quality to distance
Answer: C
According to the passage, an airlines traffic manager depends upon all of the
following EXCEPT aptitude
The time co-ordinate
Longitude
The continuous curve in co four

Verbal section(25 questions-25min)
Outside, the rain continued to run down the screened windows of Mrs. Sennett's little
Cape Cod cottage. The long weeds and grass that composed the front yard dripped
against the blurred background of the bay, where the water was almost the color of
the grass. Mrs. Sennett's five charges were vigorously playing house in the dining
room. (In the wintertime, Mrs. Sennett was housekeeper for a Mr. Curley, in Boston,
and during the summers the Curley children boarded with her on the Cape.) My
expression must have changed. " Are those children making too much noise?" Mrs.
Sennett demanded, a sort of wave going over her that might mark the beginning of
her getting up out of her chair. I shook my head no, and gave her a little push on the
shoulder to keep her seated. Mrs. Sennett was almost stone-deaf and had been for a
long time, but she could read lips. You could talk to her without making any sound
yourself, if you wanted to, and she more than kept up her side of the conversation in
a loud, rusty voice that dropped weirdly every now and then into a whisper. She
adored talking. To look at Mrs. Sennett made me think of eighteenth-century
England and its literary figures. Her hair must have been sadly thin, because she
always wore, indoors and out, either a hat or a sort of turban, and sometimes she
wore both. The rims of her eyes were dark; she looked very ill. Mrs. Sennett and I
continued talking. She said she really didn't think she'd stay with the children
another winter. Their father wanted her to, but it was too much for her. She wanted
to stay right here in the cottage. The afternoon was getting along, and I finally left
because I knew that at four o'clock Mrs. Sennett's "sit down" was over and she
started to get supper. At six o'clock, from my nearby cottage, I saw Theresa coming
through the rain with a shawl over her head. She was bringing me a six-inch-square
piece of spice cake , still hot from the oven and kept warm between two soup plates.
A few days later I learned from the twins, who brought over gifts of firewood and
blackberries, that their father was coming the next morning, bringing their aunt and
her husband and their cousin. Mrs. Sennett had promised to take them all on a picnic
at the pond some pleasant day. On the fourth day of their visit, Xavier arrived with a
note. It was from Mrs. Sennett, written in blue ink, in a large, serene, ornamented
hand, on linen-finish paper:. . . Tomorrow is the last day Mr. Curley has and the
Children all wanted the Picnic so much. The Men can walk to the Pond but it is too far
for the Children. I see your Friend has a car and I hate to ask this but could you
possibly drive us to the Pond tomorrow morning? . . .Very sincerely yours, Carmen
Sennett After the picnic, Mrs. Sennett's presents to me were numberless. It was
almost time for the children to go back to school in South Boston. Mrs. Sennett
insisted that she was not going; their father was coming down again to get them and
she was just going to stay. He would have to get another housekeeper. She said this
over and over to me, loudly, and her turbans and kerchiefs grew more and more
distrait. One evening, Mary came to call on me and we sat on an old table in the
back yard to watch the sunset. "Papa came today, " she said, "and we've got to go
back day after tomorrow. ""Is Mrs. Sennett going to stay here? ""She said at supper
she was. She said this time she really was, because she'd said that last year and
came back, but now she means it ."I said, "Oh dear," scarcely knowing which side I
was on. "It was awful at supper. I cried and cried."
"Did Theresa cry?"

"Oh, we all cried. Papa cried, too. We always do."
"But don't you think Mrs. Sennett needs a rest?"
"Yes, but I think she'll come, though. Papa told her he'd cry every single night at
supper if she didn't,
and then we all did."
The next day I heard that Mrs. Sennett was going back with them just to "help
settle."
She came over the following morning to say goodbye, supported by all five children.
She was wearing her traveling
hat of black satin and black straw, with sequins. High and somber, above her
ravaged face, it had quite a Spanishgrandee air.
"This isn't really goodbye," she said. "I'll be backas soon as I get these bad, noisy
children off my hands."
But the children hung on to her skirt and tugged at her sleeves, shaking their heads
frantically, silently saying,
"No! No! No!" to her with their puckered-up mouths
Following are some questions on this passage:

D. is angry that they never do what she tells them.

C. Mrs. Sennett is happy to leave the Curley family because they are always
whining and crying.

A. Before Mary and the narrator sit and watch the sunset
B. Before Mrs. Sennett tells the narrator she doubts she will stay another winter
with the children
C. Before the children spend a rainy afternoon playing house in the dining room
D. After the narrator learns that Mrs. Sennett will return to Boston
Answer: A
From the 197 million square miles, which make up the surface of the globe, 71 per
cent is covered by the interconnecting bodies of marine water; the Pacific Ocean
alone covers half the Earth and averages near 14,000 feet in depth. The portions
which rise above sea level are the continents-Eurasia, Africa; North America, South
America, Australia, and Antarctica. The submerged borders of the continental masses
are the continental shelves, beyond which lie the deep-sea basins.
The ocean are deepest not in the center but in some elongated furrows, or long
narrow troughs, called deeps. These profound troughs have a peripheral
arrangement, notably around the borders of the pacific and Indian oceans. The
position of the deeps, like the highest mountains, are of recent origin, since
otherwise they would have been filled with waste from the lands. This is further
strengthened by the observation that the deeps are quite often, where world-shaking
earthquakes occur. To cite an example, the "tidal wave" that in April, 1946, caused
widespread destruction along Pacific coasts resulted from a strong earthquake on the
floor of the Aleutian Deep.
The topography of the ocean floors is none too well known, since in great areas the
available soundings are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. However, the
floor of the Atlantic is becoming fairly well known as a result of special surveys since
1920. A broad, well-defined ridge-the Mid-Atlantic ridge-runs north and south
between Africa and the two Americas and numerous other major irregularities
diversify the Atlantic floor. Closely spaced soundings show that many parts of the
oceanic floors are as rugged as mountainous regions of the continents. Use of the
recently perfected method of submarine topography. During world war II great
strides were made in mapping submarine surfaces, particularly in many parts of the
vast Pacific basin.
Most of the continents stand on an average of 2870 feet above sea level. North
America averages 2300 feet; Europe averages only 1150 feet; and Asia, the highest
of the larger continental subdivisions, averages 3200 feet. Mount Everest, which is
the highest point in the globe, is 29,000 feet above the sea; and as the greatest
known depth in the sea is over 35,000 feet, the maximum relief (that is, the
difference in altitude between the lowest and highest points) exceeds 64,000 feet, or
exceeds 12 miles. The continental masses and the deep-sea basins are relief features
of the first order; the deeps, ridges, and volcanic cones that diversify the sea floor,
as well as the plains, plateaus, and mountains of the continents, are relief features of
the second order. The lands are unendingly subject to a complex of activities
summarized in the term erosion, which first sculptures them in great detail and then
tends to reduce them ultimately to sea level. The modeling of the landscape by
weather, running water, and other agents is apparent to the keenly observant eye
and causes thinking people to speculate on what must be the final result of the
ceaseless wearing down of the lands. Much before there was any recognizable
science as geology, Shakespeare wrote "the revolution of the times makes
mountains level."

The establishment of the third Reich influenced events in American history by

starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United
States. The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on
religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and especially, the plans of
Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation
in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against
Hitler's atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and
neutrality. The neutrality acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any
belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was empowered to declare an
arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion
American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine

the aggressor speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's
policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and Munich pact for the partition of
Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The conquest of
Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the
third Reich. In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi - Soviet pact and in
September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United
States attempt to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies
arranged against the Third Reich. The Neutrality act of 1939 repeated the arms
embargo and permitted 'cash' and 'carry' exports of arms to belligerent nations. A
strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to
strengthen the military services. A Lend - Lease Act (1940) authorized the president
to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary by him for the
defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western
Hemisphere. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met
and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be
established after the war. In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack
on the United States at Pearl harbor, immediately thereafter Germany declared war
on the united states.

follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage
One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because
alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and
membranes, the human fetus is particularly vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the
negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after exposure to
alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman
drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously.
Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the
mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And,
what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the
mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can
remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is
not completely developed (how developed it is depends on its stage of development).
The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is
much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by
passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place,
major neurological damage may have already occurred. Research has shown that as
little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus.
Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to
concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that
pregnant women avoid alcohol.
6. How much time can it be inferred that it takes alcohol to enter a woman's
bloodstream after she takes a drink?
A. about one hour
B. a few seconds
C. several minutes
D. at least 24 hours
Ans: B
7. According to the passage, how does the concentration of alcohol in a fetus

compare to that in the mother?
A. The concentration is more.

B. The concentration is less.
C. The concentration is equivalent.
D. The concentration cannot be measured.
Ans: C
8. It can be inferred that the development of a fetal liver depends on
A. how many months pregnant the mother is

B. how much alcohol the mother has consumed
C. how large the fetus is
D. how well the mother has taken care of the fetus
Answer: A
9. According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother's

system?
A. it is carried through the bloodstream
B. it is transferred across the placenta
C. it is expelled by the fetus's liver
D. it is not completely returned
Ans: B
10. Which one of the following was NOT mentioned as a sign of fetal alcohol
syndrome?
A. disfigurement of the face

B. concentration difficulties
C. increased aggression
D. memory problems
Ans: C

answer carry 0.25 marks., Offline (paper & pen) test

For a period of more than two centuries paleontologists have been intrigued by the
fossilized remains of pterosaurs, the first flying vertebrates. The issues, which puzzle
them, are how these heavy creatures, having a wingspan of about 8-12 meters
managed the various problems associated with powered flight and whether these
creatures were reptiles or birds.
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were
reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings
suggests that they did not evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly
elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other
fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws. In birds the second finger is the
principal strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs
walked on all fours, the three short fingers may have been employed for grasping.
When a pterosaurs walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the
wing, could only urn upward in an extended inverted V- shape along each side of the
animal's body.
In resemblance they were extremely similar to both birds and bats, with regard to
their overall body structure and proportion. This is hardly surprising as the design of
any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and
the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. There is a
difference, which is that the bones of the birds are more massively reinforced by
internal struts.
Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably had hairy coats. T.H.
Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm-blooded because
flying implies a high rate of metabolism, which in turn implies a high internal
temperature. Huxley speculated that a coat of hair would insulate against loss of
body heat and might streamline the body to reduce drag in flight. The recent
discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, and relatively thick hair
like fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was correct.
Some paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from s dropped
from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order to
become airborne. Each theory has its associated difficulties. The first makes a wrong
assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat's and could serve as hooks
by which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. The second hypothesis
seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without
damaging their wings. The third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. The
pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the wind
from which such waves arose would have been too strong.
1. As seen in the above passage scientists generally agree that:

A. the pterosaurs could fly over large distances because of their large
wingspan.
B. a close evolutionary relationship can be seen between the pterosaurs
and bats, when the structure of their skeletons is studied.
C. the study of the fossilized remains of the pterosaurs reveals how they
solved the problem associated with powered flight
D. the pterosaurs were reptiles
E. Pterosaurs walked on all fours.
Answer : D
2. As inferred from the passage, the skeleton of a pterosaur is distinguishable

from that of a bird by the
A. length of its wingspan
B. hollow spaces in its bones
C. anatomic origin of its wing strut
D. evidence of the hooklike projections on its hind feet
E. location of the shoulder joint joining the wing to its body.
Answer : C
3. From the viewpoint of T.H.Huxley, as given in the passage, which of the

following statements is he most likely to agree with?
A. An animal can master complex behaviors irrespective of the size of it's
brain.
B. Environmental capabilities and physical capabilities often influence the
appearance of an animal.
C. Usually animals in a particular family group do not change their
appearance dramatically over a period of time
D. The origin of flight in vertebrates was an accidental development
rather than the outcome of specialization or adaption
E. The pterosaurs should be classified as birds, not reptiles.
Answer : B
4. The organization of the last paragraph of the passage can best be described
as:
A. New data is introduced in order to support a traditional point of view
B. Three explanations are put forth and each of them is disputed by
means of specific information
C. An outline of three hypotheses are given and evidence supporting each
of them is given
D. Description of three recent discoveries is presented, and their
implications for future study are projected

conclusions are from it.
Answer : B
5. According to the passage, some scientists believe that pterosaurs

A. Lived near large bodies of water
B. Had sharp teeth for tearing food
C. Were attacked and eaten by larger reptiles
D. Had longer tails than many birds
E. Consumed twice their weight daily to maintain their body temperature.
Answer : A
After his father's death, writer Laurence Yep returned to San Francisco to look for the
apartment house where his family had lived, which also housed their grocery store.
It had been replaced by a two-story parking garage for a nearby college. There were
trees growing where the store door had been. I had to look at the street signs on the
corner to make sure I was in the right spot. Behind the trees was a door of solid
metal painted a battleship gray Stretching to either side were concrete walls with
metal grates bolted over the openings in the sides. The upper story of the garage
was open to the air but through the grates I could look into the lower level. The
gray, oil-stained concrete spread onward endlessly, having replaced the red cement
floor of our store. Lines marked parking places where my parents had laid wooden
planks to ease the ache and chill on their feet. Where the old-fashioned glass store
counter had been was a row of cars. I looked past the steel I-beams that formed the
columns and ceiling of the garage, peering through the dimness in an attempt to
locate where my father's garden had been; but there was only an endless stretch of
cars within the painted stalls. We called it the garden though that was stretching the
definition of the word because it was only a small, narrow cement courtyard on the
north side of our apartment house. There was only a brief time during the day when
the sun could reach the tiny courtyard; but fuchsia bushes, which loved the shade,
grew as tall as trees from the dirt plot there. Next to it my father had fashioned
shelves from old hundred-pound rice cans and planks; and on these makeshift shelves
he had his miniature flower patches growing in old soda pop crates from which he
had removed the wooden dividers. He would go out periodically to a wholesale nursery
by the beach and load the car with boxes full of little flowers and seedlings which he
would lovingly transplant in his shadowy garden. If you compared our crude little
garden to your own backyards, you would probably laugh; and yet the cats in the
neighborhood loved my father's garden almost as much as he did--to his great
dismay The cats loved to roll among the flowers, crushing what were just about the
only green growing things in the area. Other times, they ate them-perhaps as a
source of greens. Whatever the case, my father could have done without their
destructive displays of appreciation. I don't know where my father came by his love
of growing things. He had come to San Francisco as a boy and, except for a brief
time spent picking fruit, had lived most of his life among cement, brick, and asphalt.
I hadn't thought of my father's garden in years; and yet it was the surest symbol of
my father. Somehow he could persuade flowers to grow within the old, yellow soda
pop crates though the sun seldom touched them; and he could coax green shoots
out of what seemed like lifeless sticks. His was the gift of renewal. However, though
I stared and stared, I could not quite figure out where it had been. Everything looked
the same; more concrete and more cars. Store, home and garden had all been torn
down and replaced by something as cold, massive and impersonal as a prison. Even
if I could have gone through the gate, there was nothing for me inside there. If I
wanted to return to that lost garden, I would have to go back into my own
memories. Award-winning author Laurence Yep did return to his father's garden in
his memories. In 1991 he published The Lost Garden an autobiography in which he
tells of growing up in San Francisco and of coming to use his writing to celebrate his
family and his ethnic heritage.

follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Work expands so as
to fill the time available for its completion. The general recognition of this fact is
shown in the proverbial phrase, It is the busiest man who has time to spare. Thus,
an elderly lady at leisure can spend the entire day writing a postcard to her niece. An
hour will be spent in writing a postcard, another hunting for spectacles, half an hour
to search for the address, an hour and a quarter in composition and twenty minutes
in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella when goingto the pillar box in the
street. The total effort that could occupy a busy man for three minutes, all told may
in this fashion leave another person completely exhausted after a day of doubt,
anxiety and toil.

follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage. According to Albert Einstein the non
mathematician, is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-
dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts
awakened by the occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which
we live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place
statement.
of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and
clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is
something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space
continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frwasLions, scaled down to one-
sixteenth of an inch.


mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York-Chicago
express, one must mention not only that it goes from New-York to Albany to
Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches
each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual
chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece
of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line
properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two-
dimensional space-time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to
most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial
events in a two-dimensional dollar-time continuum. Similarly for the best
picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a
four dimensional space time continuum is essential. The latitude, longitude and
altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the airline if the time co -
ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension. If a flight has to
be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series
of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and
perceived as a continuous four- dimensional space - time continuum curve.
The significant feature of a continuum, according to the passage, revolves around

The divisibility of the interval between any two points. An ordinary ruler's caliber for
marking Its unending curve Its lucid from providing comprehensibility to the non-
scientists as well It's variety of co-ordinates.
Answer: A
The purpose of this passage is to highlight the point that Plots and sea captains have
something in common Stock market charts may be helpful to physicists The fourth
dimension is time. Non-mathematician's are often afraid of the commonplace There
is a marked quality to distance
Answer: C
According to the passage, an airlines traffic manager depends upon all of the
following EXCEPT latitude altitude the time co-ordinate longitude the continuous
curve in co four
Answer: E
The underlying tone of this selection is persuasive deferential candid instructive

CTS ( Cognizant Technologies Solutions) Question Pattern
Following is the pattern of CTS selection:
For CTS you will first face an aptitude test of 60 mins having 40 questions.Correct
answer carry one mark and wrong answer carry 0.25 marks. Do prepare well for this test
as this is where the main competition is. study general aptitude, some basic geometry,
logical reasoning, time & distance etc.
Questions were from :Quantative (ratio & proportion, inequalities, quadratic etc)-
Aptitude (puzzles)- English (para followed by deductions, filling blanks with correct
words).
TIPS - Practice quantative and puzzles. Refer- R.S.Agarwal, CAT material
next you will be called for a technical interview. the interview is not so difficult if your
technical is good. they ask very basic technical questions, and you will clear it very easily
if your basic concepts are clear. my interview lasted for 20 mins. questions on Data
structures, networks, C (he also asked me to write a small program). answer confidently
and clearly say if you dont know the answer.
